SCALE CALIBRATION VS. SCALE CERTIFICATION: DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?
If your business requires the use of scales, you’ve probably heard the terms “calibration” and “certification” thrown around quite a lot. Accurate Scale wants to ask: do you truly understand of the difference between the two? If you don’t, you’re not alone.
WHAT IS CALIBRATION?
Calibration is the process of determining if a scale or measurement device is weighing correctly. Qualified technicians run tests to check the accuracy of the measurement of the scale to ensure that it falls within an acceptable margin of error. Accurate Scale can run assessments and adjust your scale if it is found to be non-compliant.
WHAT IS SCALE CERTIFICATION?
In Canada, scales that are used to buy or sell materials must be certified as “Legal for Trade” in accordance with guidelines set out by Measurement Canada. Accurate Scale ensure that your devices meet the proper standards set out by Measurement Canada that have recently changed for weighing device owners.
